Scottish independence: John Swinney repeats the SNP threat to saddle taxpayers in rest of the UK with all of national debt, trust is a major issue for Nats, if England closes the border to all land traffic, how long before Scotland would be brought to its knees?

Dear All

It maybe Friday but Scotland’s Finance
Minister has decided to finish off the week by repeating his threat to saddle
taxpayers south of the border with all of the UK’s national debt.

Bless his cotton socks, who thought that
would be a good idea!

The threat is ill judged, ill timed and
rather foolish; either Scotland keeps the pound in the unlikely event of
independence or no repaying Scotland’s fair share of the UK debt.

You almost cannot grasp the stupidity of
going down this road; it is hugely and utterly wrong.

The independence bid is collapsing each
day; it is becoming more and more bizarre as Alex Salmond attempts to make
Scotland a financial pariah nation.

Would you be mad enough to buy a Scottish
Government bond when these people plainly state that they will renege on paying
their debts?

If
you are mad enough to back these people you really do deserve to get stuffed.

John Swinney is ruining his reputation as
the independence campaign goes on to its bitter end.

Despite a warning from Danny Alexander, the
Chief Secretary to the Treasury, ruling out sharing the pound as “final”, the
SNP minister refused to outline a Plan B on currency.

What would happen if England closed their
borders to land traffic from Scotland?

Think about that one for a minute and ask
yourself who exactly is in the driving seat.

Swinney added:

"We have always accepted there will
have to be a negotiation. The reason the people of England would say yes (to a
currency zone) is because it is in the inherent interests of the rest of the UK”.

A recent poll came out against a currency
union with Scotland.

Swinney added:

“If the UK Government sustains its current
line of argument, and the line of argument pursued by George Osborne, then what
would happen is the UK would be assuming all of the responsibility for the debt
of the UK. An independent Scotland would not be saddled with the proportionate
share of debt that we freely accepted we would have to take on. The UK
Government would be walking into assuming all of the debt of the UK, and that
is another compelling reason why the circumstances I have set...of the rest of
the UK agreeing to a currency zone with an independent Scotland is a strong and
credible position.”

So, an indy Scotland wouldn’t have any
defence assets either.

No warship, planes, helicopters, army, navy
or air force, bomb, bullets or weapons.

Who is in the driving seat Mr. Swinney?

Do you intend to form a ‘Volkstrom’?

And what would the ‘people’s army’ fight
with bare hands and rocks!

Mr Swinney, speaking to BBC Radio
Scotland’s Good Morning Scotland programme, added that it was unlikely that Mr
Osborne, or whoever was chancellor after the 2015 general election, was going
to “voluntarily absolve the people of Scotland of over a £100 billion worth of
debt.”

No, they wouldn’t be absolving, but if they
close the border then everything would have to be brought in by air and sea.

How long could that last as the price of
goods and materials skyrocket leading to riots as people couldn’t get food
stuff?

Meanwhile, another plank of the indy
campaign fell apart, ‘white collar flight’ is the new ‘happening’ as Alex
Salmond’s economic case for independence suffered another blow when the
Alliance Trust, an investment and savings business, became the latest major
company to express concern over the independence referendum.

Everyone is deserting Salmond an unpopular
Nicola Sturgeon.

It is now time for John Swinney to consider
that following these two buffoons is damaging his political career.

Best to start work on Plan B, a Scottish
currency as soon as possible, if you can find anyone sensible to do the leg
work, I would bypass Alex’s ‘experts’ on the Fiscal Commission as the joke
rubber stamp they actually are.

You've hit upon what I have thought from the outset has been the main danger of separation: if negotiations descend into acrimony - and, given the SNP's moronic negotiating position, this seems to be a highly probable outcome - rUK will hold the ultimate sanction of being able to erect a physical border between the two countries. And if this happens, our economy will collapse, and we'll all be screwed!
